(Siracusa, Nueva York, 25 de junio de 1929)
Es un escritor e ilustrador de libros infantiles estadounidense, criado en Alemania. Ha ilustrado más de setenta libros, y vendido 88 millones de copias.
Es conocido sobre todo por La oruguita glotona, un volumen desplegable y taladrado que convierte el libro en juguete y da forma autónoma a la trama narrativa. Carle posee una técnica muy reconocible, que podría definirse como «collage impresionista», con las figuras casi siempre recortadas sobre fondo blanco.
